Abstract

Lumazine synthase (LS), a bacterial protein that self-assembles into 60-mer icosahedral virus-like nanoparticles, has emerged as a promising platform for nanoparticle-based drug delivery and vaccine design. However, detailed biophysical characterization of the LS nanoparticle vaccine has not been well-studied. In this study, we generated LS nanoparticles fused with domain B of protein A (pA-LS), enabling their binding to the hFc-tagged S1 domain of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein harboring two critical mutations (E484K and D614G) associated with increased infectivity and antibody escape. Biophysical analysis, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), revealed an extended size (∼45 nm) compared with the empty particle (∼15 nm). Similarly, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) analyses confirmed increases in height and diameter. The spike-decorated nanoparticles demonstrated multivalent surface presentation by binding to the ACE2 receptor with a speckle-like appearance. Immunization of mice with pA-LS-S1-hFc elicited neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants. Further, immunization followed by a live SARS-CoV-2 challenge (Wuhan-Hu-1, B.1.617.2 (Delta), or B.1.1.529 (Omicron)) in K18-hACE2 transgenic mice significantly reduced the lung viral load and pathology. Additionally, we generated mosaic nanoparticles displaying spike proteins from two epidemic coronaviruses, SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV, which exhibited binding to their respective cellular receptors, ACE2 and DPP4, with similar binding patterns. Immunization with these mosaic nanoparticles elicited cross-reactive neutralizing antibodies against SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV pseudoviruses. Our proof-of-concept data demonstrate the versatility of the LS nanoparticle platform for antigen presentation, supporting the development of multivalent vaccine designs targeting diverse antigens and contributing to immunogen design strategies.

摘要

鲁马嗪合酶(LS)是一种可自组装成60聚体二十面体病毒样纳米颗粒的细菌蛋白,已成为基于纳米颗粒的药物递送和疫苗设计的一个有前景的平台。然而,LS纳米颗粒疫苗的详细生物物理特性尚未得到充分研究。在本研究中,我们生成了与蛋白A的B结构域(pA-LS)融合的LS纳米颗粒,使其能够与携带两个与传染性增加和抗体逃逸相关的关键突变(E484K和D614G)的严重急性呼吸综合征冠状病毒2(SARS-CoV-2)刺突蛋白的人Fc标签化S1结构域结合。生物物理分析,如透射电子显微镜(TEM)显示,与空颗粒(约15纳米)相比,其尺寸更大(约45纳米)。同样,原子力显微镜(AFM)和动态光散射(DLS)分析证实了高度和直径的增加。带有刺突蛋白的纳米颗粒通过与血管紧张素转换酶2(ACE2)受体结合呈现出斑点状外观,展示了多价表面呈现。用pA-LS-S1-hFc免疫小鼠可引发针对SARS-CoV-2及其变体的中和抗体。此外,在K18-hACE2转基因小鼠中,用活的SARS-CoV-2(武汉-Hu-1、B.1.617.2(德尔塔)或B.1.1.529(奥密克戎))攻击之前进行免疫,可显著降低肺部病毒载量和病理变化。此外,我们还生成了展示来自两种流行冠状病毒SARS-CoV-1和中东呼吸综合征冠状病毒(MERS-CoV)刺突蛋白的嵌合纳米颗粒,它们以类似的结合模式与各自的细胞受体ACE2和二肽基肽酶4(DPP4)结合。用这些嵌合纳米颗粒免疫可引发针对SARS-CoV-1和MERS-CoV假病毒的交叉反应中和抗体。我们的概念验证数据证明了LS纳米颗粒平台在抗原呈递方面的多功能性,支持了针对多种抗原的多价疫苗设计的开发,并为免疫原设计策略做出了贡献。
